AQ HDC3 18 halp


Recommended Posts

My HDC3 18 is making a noise that I can't quite describe, but I will do my best. It sounds almost like it's clipping, like a hollow type coily noise...it happens even at low volumes and I'm 100% nothing is clipping because my voltage is good, and tested the HU and amp with an o-scope.. Monday I will get around to checking the coils and seeing what they read, but is it possible that since my cut out is a hair too small that it could be stressing the basket or something and causing the sub to not excurt perfectly? Because I just had the sub inverted and I didn't hear the noise....Maybe Nikitaaa can get in here and help me describe the noise since he heard it today.

Mine does that when I open the back hatch and the port has nothing to load up on.

It's like a really odd mechanic grinding sound. His gains and ssf and everything is good. I just don't know why it could be..

Interesting. Should I move my box closer to the hatch? It's nearly a foot away..

I would shoot for 6-8 inches or the width of the port.

Aight I'll move it closer in the morning and see what happens. If it fixes it I will be super happy.

I honestly doubt moving it 3inches back is going to take that weird sound away.

The sounds is like roof flex, only coming from the sub..

I just find it hard to belive that you messed up that sub from only 1200 watts not including box rise ect.. Take a volt meter to the coils. That would be the first thing I would do.
